Using Maya to help with perspective

As already written, when I spoke to Dan a couple of weeks ago about my background progress, he suggested that I use Maya to block out the scene first, play around with the layout and then build concept on top of it, which is what I have been doing since for the next concept-the princess' room!

My version of it is heavily inspired by Maid Marian from the Disney film 'Robin Hood';

as well as some of the designs on the interior moodboard Matt linked to me which I will post here again for convenience;


At first I was really struggling to get to grips with Maya and I started the concept art using two point perspective lines, my best attempt being;



which didn't look quite right at all..

But during Monday's lesson first of all Keith and Clym helped me out and got me working on Maya again.

which I then added to later on to make this;


I will go over this attempt using SAI, the program I am now learning and will update soon..
